Bosio, Erik: Come back home

With humming and vocals, Erik Bosio has fashioned in Come Back Home a highly atmospheric arch of wistful, gently melancholic and pensive melodic phrases. The focal point of the piece is the imploring plea to the beloved: "Where are you, darling? Can’t you see I sit here alone? Please, come back home. Can’t you feel how cold it is outside? My arms are waiting for you." After an outburst of emotion – the one point at which the music turns to forte – there remains finally, at the close, the initial humming. Whether or not the wish is fulfilled is something that Bosio leaves unresolved.
